Out of curiosity, would you draw a large distinction between using the word "politics" or "culture" to describe the connection? I suspect that what some are describing as "political" may thought of by others as a disconnect and disagreement between cycling culture and driving culture. Solving this disconnect through political force may indeed be one solution, but it is far from the only solution. Just speculation on my part.
- wpietri 5y agoI would because culture is a pretty broad thing. "Driving culture" includes all sorts of things. E.g., road trips, Route 66, long commutes, drive-through restaurants and cupholders. It becomes politics when the needs of different groups conflict. When a group asserts, implicitly or otherwise, "My privilege to get somewhere quickly overrides your right to get somewhere alive," that's just not on the same level as cupholders.
